Mm hmm

There was snow on the ground this morning.

What'd I say about this week?

I really do need to get my butt in action to kick the shit out of winter. I'm not yet prepared though I did start comparing prices on sorels yesterday. The purchases will come in due time. As for now, I can't even begin to explain how happy I am about this newly draped white blanket that the grass beheld for my seeing pleasure this morning because there is nothing that would describe my joy. Not even an exclamation mark. Not even two.

This week marks the best week of my life. Holy bold statement batman... As soon as I wrote that I was like "Wow... Really!?". Well the truth is, it's probably not but I'm an emotional person, what can I say. Right now it feels like it is. At any rate... this week has been fabulous, granted it's only 12:30 on Tuesday so there is still a lot of time remaining - allowing things to go sour... HOWEVER.. I'm in full faith that they won't. Ya know when you just feel like the world is on your side? That's how I feel this week. It's like there are too many things going right for things to go wrong. What a wonderful life I lead. Now I'll tell you why.

1. Last day at Travel Manitoba = TOMORROW
2. I got a new REAL job that starts on Monday. Two weeks off PAID at Christmas anyone? Yes, thank you, I'll take it.
3. I get to bake cupcakes tonight.
4. I am leaving on Thursday morning EARLY (like while it's still dark) to visit my sister and her family in Saskatoon!!
5. Yesterday I was at the mall and there were Christmas decorations being put up. I shed a couple of tears while walking through them... No lie.
6. I'm going to a halloween potluck at my sister's tomorrow and I'm going to dress up and have so much fun. Yayyyy!!! (Brit just shit).
7. The time changes on Sunday which means that it's going to get darker sooner at night which I love because I love dark.

Great stuff hey? Wow. I'm just so happy. The only thing that would make this week better would be if it snowed. It won't though, but ya know what? You have to spread out the good stuff.

Anyways I need to do some work now but I don't even mind because after tomorrow I'll never have to update Carberry Plains Museum ever again.

Wee ooo.

We would do long distance if we weren't so busy doing no distance

On Saturday night I went to Daly burger, then I went to Boo at the Zoo followed by a late night viewing of "Across the Universe". Let me tell you something, "Across the Universe" was more boo than the zoo. That's a fact.

Oh!

Yeah, it was just time.

Dots are so... Australia. I'm way over that place.

Souvenir

Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone and it's subtitle reads "success". From Friday to Monday this girl was grinning (at least on the inside); nothing brings a grin more than a good ol' turkey. I LOVE meat.

Birds and expanded stomachs aside, the weekend brought more highlights than just those. Brunch avec the siblings was a new event for us kids, one that I would love to repeat. It sent us walking, nay - trotting down memory lane and laughs were flying as we did just that. Discussing R & J's parenting techniques guarantees a hilarious discussion and this time was no exception. If we had an agenda for brunch, it most certainly would have read "words that the parents made up and taught us". Not the most captivating title, but it's all I got right now. Anyways, upon blurting out different words that we thought were real as children, Drew and Nils have now proven them faulty. I'm sure urbandictionary.com wouldn't even carry them.

Here they are words and definitions, compliments of R & J Hiebert:

1. Goosie: Blowing/vibrating lips on someone's bare skin (usually on the stomach) It's spitty and funny.A.K.A (apparently) zerbert, raspberry, blow-skin...

2. Shniggle: The name of one arm-pit.

3. Fritz: The name of the other arm-pit.

4. BM: Short for bowel movement. We weren't allowed to say poo.

5. Poof: Fart.

I think that might be it. There may be more and for your entertainment's sake, I'm sorry if there are because I've forgotten. Needless to say, even my bed ridden self was busting a gut over these and I hope that if I'm ever a parent I also make up words and tell my kids they are real. I will most definitely be stealing "Shniggle and Fritz" from my parents - it will be grand.

Happy belated Thanksgiving.
Love Vanasty.
